In Gainesville, the bars regularly change management and names. There's four worthwhile in midtown (across the street from campus):
Balls- sketchy, dirty, awesome place people go to get wasted. It's cheap and they're easy on IDs.
Salty Dog- heavily greek, but only the 21+ crowd. A less dirty, less crowded version of Balls.
Copper Monkey- there are more geeds here than other places, but it's the only place in midtown that has ladies night. Bigger than the other two, but still satisfyingly creepy.
Swamp- this place is so greek-infested that I usually can't stand it. It's the biggest and nicest, but also the most expensive and they let freshman in until it gets too crowded. This is for people who are obsessed with greek life because they don't have one otherwise.
downtown is where all the clubs are. But there's always:
Lillians- Live music (classic rock), free popcorn, a little bit dirty, and very questionable. I love the old people who get wasted there. Karaoke Wednesdays are great.
Durty Nelly's- Similar to Lillian's, but cheaper, dirtier, and smaller.
Mother's- They have a "drink the wall" challenge for 34 different beers. If you finish all the mugs in two weeks you get your picture on the wall and some other free stuff. I heard that after they finish remodeling in a couple weeks, they'll have a whiskey wall.
